2.Indices/Order
3.Dividing
4.Multiplication
5.Adding
6.Subtraction
Or
1.Brackets
2.Indices/order
3.Whichever is furthest right of division or multiplication then work from right to left
4.Whichever is furthest right of addition and subtraction and work from right to left?
DD has been taught both ways at various times (she thinks) by different teachers or teaching assistants.
Thank you anyone. I would call NobleGiraffe but hopefully she is up to her neck in gin and not thinking about school.
If you could also provide an example of how to do it I would be so grateful
the question is;
use operations (+ , - , x , /, () to make 12345*6=44 a true statement.
my notes [/ means division but we can't work out how to get that symbol.]
